[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1834972, member: 42715"] But it kind of misses the natural advantage of the corn belt. It’s not the south’s fault they can grow higher quality feed that can get fed cheaply with no transport cost. Corn don’t grow on my place. And it was 106F all July and august. Those two environmental reasons are why we can’t compete with those higher grading herds up north . If we have the same input opportunities, we’d catch them in 10 years. But the south doesn’t profitably grow cattle like that in most places. Yeah, maybe with a pivot or in certain microclimates, but most land needs the cheaper cows to produce profit. [/QUOTE]
